Late Nights and Long Days

For the 6th (maybe 7th) night in the past 1.5 weeks  I’m up past 1:30a. It’s no because i’m playing Bejewled Blitz on facebook but rather a much more worthwhile investment of time: i’m preparing my lessons for English Camp  for my missions trip to Czech Republic. Normally that would be all fun and just [...]

hallelujah

And only you can see the good
In broken things
You took my heart of stone
And you made it home
And set this prisoner free

Help me to sing hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Whatever’s in front of me
I’ll choose to sing hallelujah
“God is never doing just one thing in what he does with us. He is always [...]

Blend in the universe
Gonna make everything
In our whole world change….
Oh we know its coming
And it’s coming fast
(As long when there’s you and me) (Oh yeah)
So let’s make every second last, make it last!
Right here, oh right now
Yeah, I’m looking at you and [...]

5 Things I’m Thankful For…

I’m going to try doing this on a weekly basis. I can’t believe I did this every day of my senior year of college…we’ll see how it goes. All thanks and praise be to Abba…

Providence… I was reading about how God has revealed himself to mankind through his common grace by caring for his creation. [...]

Not of Self

“It is always the Holy Spirit’s work to turn our eyes away from self to Jesus; but Satan’s work is just the opposite of this, for he is constantly trying to make us pay attention to ourselves instead of to Christ. He insinuates, ‘Your sins are too great for pardon; you have no faith; you [...]
